Volunteer Opportunities

The Mobile Area Education Foundation offers a variety of Volunteer Opportunities. We ask that you take a moment to review our volunteer opportunity descriptions and sign-up today.

Partners in Education

Currently, the Partner in Education Program in Mobile County links over 1,000 businesses, organizations, churches and individuals, who make an annual impact of over $2.3 million to our schools in Mobile County. The PIE Partnerships have one common theme, improving the quality of education in Mobile County for every child. The PIE program is coordinated for the Mobile County Public School System by the Mobile Area Education Foundation. We are seeking volunteers to provide support to a local public school.

ACCEL Day and Evening Academy

ACCEL Day and Evening Academy incorporates the theory that students are best motivated to learn if they understand the connection between skills learned in the class and those needed for success in the workplace. ACCEL students will explore career options as interns in Mobile businesses to experience the importance of communication skills, mathematics, creativity, problem solving and teamwork. We need businesses to provide internships for ACCEL students.

Engaging Youth in Engineering

A critical component of EYE is the involvement of business and industry volunteers, as well as engineering students from the University of South Alabama, both to assist teachers as they implement the engineering curriculum and mini-units and to mentor students. Research is clear that the likelihood of a student choosing to be an engineer is greatly enhanced when there is an engineer in the immediate family or when the student has had exposure to engineers as mentors.

RAMP

The RAMP UP Extended Learning Experience and Summer Transition programs help students improve their academic performance by partnering with community volunteers to create a roadmap to graduation. Volunteers play a vital role in showing students what it takes to be successful and how to set and reach goals.

Reading Buddy

One mentor-one child-one book at a time but it has a profound impact on a child’s reading-related skills and self-esteem. Classroom volunteers are needed to listen to a child read. Reading aloud to someone is one of the best ways for a child to become a proficient, fluent reader.
